FIRE AND WATER PROOF PAINT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 288,621, dated November20,1883. Application filed September 10, 1 883. (No specimens.)

To all. whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. CHAND- LER, of the city of Jackson, inthe county of Jackson, in the State of Michigan, have invented a new,useful, and important improvement upon the composition known as fire andwater proof paint," of which the following specification is a full,clear, and exact description.

The paint or cement herein described is specially intended forcoatingroofs; but it is equally adapted to the. coating of walls ofhouses or other surfaces where, as in cellars, it is desirable toexclude all dampness.

The ingredients of this paint or cement consist of and arecombined inthe following proportions, namely: one barrel of coal-tar, forty poundsof iron-clad paint, forty pounds of sulphur, twenty pounds of Venetianred, fifteen pounds of fine table-salt, ten pounds of ground alum, tenpounds of litharge, ten pounds of dry asphaltum, and twenty poundsofrosin. These ingredients are thoroughly mixed by agitation or othermeans. The cement is then .ready to be applied by a brush in the usualmanner.

The iron-clad paint is made as follows: To fifty pounds of powdered ironore is added one and one-half gallons of linseed-oil, and

the ore is ground until the ore and oil become thoroughly mixed, or ofthe consistence of white-lead putty, when the mixture is converted intopaint by adding four gallons more of the linseed-oil. p To give body tothe foregoing compound, I combine the tar, iron, sulphur, and Venetianred. To secure fireproof in connection with water-proof qualities, Icombine the salt, alum, and sulphur with the tar, as aforesaid. Tosecure a perfect finish, I add the rosin given; and to secure an earlyhardening and to hasten the drying process, I combine the litharge anddry asphaltum. M

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- A fire andwater proof paint made from coaltar,iron-clad paint, sulphur, Venetian red,

salt, alum, litharge, asphaltum, and rosin, in

the manner and proportions substantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereuntoaffixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM S. CHANDLER.
